5. The untapped potential of the game here in the UK, being a smaller sport almost makes things more special and "ours".

4. It's all I've known since I was 9, growing up in the best Bradford era in history. Later I came to enjoy the game itself, now t'Bulls aren't going so well, it's important to get that buzz back again.

3. World class athletes on show on my doorstep. Who importantly, are in the majority, humble and grounded people.

2. On the whole, everyone gets along and a good percentage of those just enjoy the rugby; watching the Magic Weekend and seeing good play appreciated by all in attendance.

1. My absolute favourite aspect of Rugby League is a winger diagonally chasing down a long range try and making the last ditch tackle; Ainscough, Raynor and Halley providing three memorable examples at Odsal. Love it.

(Honourary mention to TotalRL, being able to chat a lot of sh*t about summat I enjoy is pretty damn good.)

1) It's still a sport of the people, easy to feel part of it and to get deeply involved.2) Great skills combined with focussed brutality.3) The humour and friendship of the fans.4) The amateur scene.5) Being the underdog, and fighting the bigotry!

1. The game, the jaw dropping skill that can be seen only to be followed moments later by a huge hit, often by the same person that demonstarted the skill.2. The fans, the ability to go to any game at any level and stand or sit wherever you want and invarably have a good laugh and conversation about the game.3. The big occasions, Challenge Cups, Grand Finals, Magic Weekends and Internationals, loved every big game I've been to.4. The honesty of both the fans and the players5. All the friends I've made that I would never have made if I had not got into this game. Linked to no 2 but also includes all the lads I played with and against and whom I can still have a great laugh with many years later - even those I didn't particularly like when playing

1. The open mouthed awe at the skills we get to see week in week out, whether its an outstanding try, a stunning pass, a bone crunching tackle and sometimes all of those in one play!

2. Just how the players give their bodies to the game, how some of them play each week is beyond belief when they are pretty much held together by nothing more than a bit of strapping. Outstanding athletes.

3. The friendly atmosphere at every ground. I love the inclusive nature of our sport and that we can sit side by side, or conga through opposition fans even, and there is not a problem.

4. The game as a whole. Once you've sat and watched a game, particularly live, its hard not to fall in love with it. Ive introduced a number of people to it over the years and they all love the game now. My friend's from Glasgow, and he is now a season ticket holder at Leeds. His dad came to his first game last boxing day and loved it, he then came down for the world club challenge and keeps more up to date with the Rhinos than my friend does, and he makes sure they put it on every weekend in his local club so he can watch it with his mates!

5. I love that I started supporting Leeds in the late 80s as a small child, it makes me appreciate the current success far more. The 2004 Grand Final will always be my favourite memory and still get goosebumps thinking about Danny McGuires match winning try!

1. The challenge cup final and abide with me, sends shivers down my spine.
2. The community spirit and family orientation of the game.
3. Seeing a free flowing move executed at breakneck speed by incredible athletes.
4. The worlds against us and us against the rest attitude of league fans.
5. the fact that rugby league is not only the UK's but the whole worlds best kept sporting secret and one day this great game of ours will become recogonized nationally and internationally as the greatest game of all.

2 - The technical aspect of the game, or you can just enjoy the simplicity of it

and most of all at 1 - the fact that even a dire game of Rugby League will still be one of the most entertaining parts of the week.

In the past couple of years I spent £55 watching a Scotland v Wales 6N game, and £115 for Man City v Wigan in the FA Cup Final this year, and I know that my £20 Rugby League ticket will give me a hundred times more entertainment than anything these sports can deliver.

1 The concept of the game: it's elegant combinationof dsciplined brutalty, skill, tactics, athleticism,drama, imaginion unmatchable and makes the drearyness of certain aspects its culture almost but not quite bearable

2 The fact that no matter what level rugby league is played you almost always get a good game
